AND JEFF. MAIR Creating cartoon characters You've all met Percival, that little character who talks to his plants (and they talk back) and finds himself in all kinds of humorous situations, but did you know that Percival has “brothers?” There's Hillbilly Bill, Rocky Racoon, and then there's Toby the little ant, and Orville the dragon fly, Slim the worm and Polly the bumble-bee.” These are all “funnies” characters created by. brothers Jeff and Brad Mair. In my research into Brad, “Percival's" creator, I discovered that Brad, 16, has a brother Jeff, 16, who is also a keen cartoonist. Jeff's got the “insect” series which includes Orville, Slim and Polly. These he works on regu- larly. “And it's quite a process,” says his mother Elaine. The first thing Jeff has to do is to come up with an. idea. Then he gets it down on paper, everything exactly and correctly proportioned. This he places on a "light box,” and traces the whole thing all over again. He says a good “Sunday” length funny. might take an entire day. Jeff admitted he is still looking for a regular outlet for his work, He was in charge of the art for the short-lived SHSS school newspaper, which unfortunately, lasted only three issues. The. Castlegar Savings Credit Union recently used Jeff's cartoons for a small pamphlet they put out. LINDA HALL — Getting to Know Your Neighbor. nade o (~~) ESS Ideas for the brothers’ Pp ti come from all around. “I might sit down and try to think of an idea,” says Jeff, “and then I might be able to come up with a good idea or it just might happen while I'm talking to someone. I keep a mental note. Or sometimes I get the best ideas in the middle of the night. That’s usually just before I fall asleep.” Brad's “Percival” has been appearing regularly in _ this paper for three years now. “Usually I sit down and think of a topic,” he says, “like piling wood, or something, and then I go from there. If I had to do a daily one (cartoon) I'd start to have to write down everything.” At this point their father, local teacher Don Mair, spoke up. “He wanted to quit his’ paper route,” he said pointing to Brad, “and we said ‘Fine if you have another source of income,’ and he said, ‘I can sell my cartoons,’ and we said, ‘Fine.’ And he took them down and they bought them.” Brad looked over at his brother then and said, “He used to laugh at me for drawing cartoons.” And Jeff admitted, “I never used to think that cartoons were an art form.” Jeff regularly wanders up to the SHSS library and sits down and reads all the comics from all the newspapers, No, he's not goofiny off. ‘His dredrn ‘iheludes favorite: is “Pean 'y humor.

Brad working on a very sensitive portrait of his grandfather, and has had two paintings in the Castlegar Community Art Show. This year's submission is of the back porch of a large yellow house, an interesting subject to say the least. He doesn’t like painting breathtaking scenes of waterfalls and mountains, but prefers, rather, to zero in ona particular small facet of that whole; the flowerpot on somebody's window sill, a porch step, the portrait. I admired the painting of the back porch and he commented, “I walked past there every day on my way to school. I just like that. house. It's got a lot of different details, like the step. I thought it would make a good topic for a painting.” Jeff is a very active member of the Kootenay Art Club, and has in fact done workshops for them.

Brad's interests are moving more toward commercial art, and he has done quite a bit ot it already within the 21 for Minor Hockey Week, Girl's Basketball ph al acer and other things. His venture into commercial art came when he was quite young. He kept- winning the Minor Hockey League poster contests each year until a few other organizations saw his work and: decided to ie him to design their rs-or their osters. His favorite class is of course art and he prides himself in in doing well on each class: “Project. “The brothers also do quite a bit of this type of art work together. They have done up large posters advertising the Trade Fair, a full size painting of the CKQR logo, and together they won a float award for last year’s SunFest Parade.

Where Jeff is positive that his future holds a lot of art, Brad isn’t so sure. “I change my mind so often." According to his mother, his interests are tending more toward music lately than toward art. He plays the drums in the school band and thoroughly enjoys it. Both boys grew up in Castlegar and because they are so close in age, Elaine remembers that the two of them would spend hours together drawing and coloring at the stable. Their 11-year-old sister, Jennifer, according-to her .brothers is more athletically inclined than artistically -inclined. As they grew, hockey soon became their favorite winter pasttime. This past year was Jeff's last in minor hockey, but Brad still plays and was on the Midget Rep Team that went to Reno this March. In the summer Brad stows his hockey gear away for the season and joins a baseball team. B.C. book publishers manage to make money VANCOUVER (CP) — Like most of his cohorts i in tne British Columbia book ishing industry, the p Talonbooks doesn’t always find the going smooth, For one thing, Karl Siegler's office, (a waterfront studio jammed with cartons of cookbooks, brimming ashtrays and stuffed green garbage bags) is 4,800 kilometres from Toronto, the hub of the Canadian industry. Siegler has to contend with a vincial been at the point of death more than once. Between 1975 and 1979, the 15-year-old organization accumulated a debt of $48,000. The federal and gov threw it a lifeline, but Siegler says if Talonbooks had been located in Ontario during that period — and therefore: ine position to take ge of that g — it would never have been in debt. policy that’s not as supportive as he would like it to be and the printing rates here, he says, are higher than anywhere else in Canada. .; : j,. In spite of all that, and regards of Siegler’ '3 conviction i in that th d B.C., Talonhooks..is making Tponey. It's a: coriment: that’s heing echoed throughout the ‘ provincial book: -publishing/business. a SALES SOAR The Association ‘of Book Publishers of. B.C., Which /p 20 active and 11 says 260 new titles rolled off the presses last year. Gross sales were $15 million —a staggering leap from 11 years ago when total retail sales were just $100,000. “It's growing incredibly strong,” says Jini Stolk, admin- istrative officer of the Toronto-based Association of Cana- dian Publishers. Scott McIntyre, head of Vancouver's Douglas and Me- Intyre, says three things are responsible for the industry's growth: “A amount of a lot of energy and (we hope) good writing.” McIntyre says his own 12-year- sald firm, a mainstream is house that ali: art, “The problem with Talonbooks,” he says, “was not what we did or how we did it — but where we did it.” Adds.Ellen Godfrey, president of the Association of Book Publishers of B.C.: “The B.C. government has been slow to reconize the needs of publishers — it's one of the disadvantages of being here.” Tom Fielding of the cultural services branch of the : Provincial Secretary and Government Services Ministry, says-the government offers help under the provincial title assistance program, but pany for works of fiction, drama and poetry. The interest subsidy program offers rebates of 50 per cent on loan interest — but only to those companies which have published three new titles in the previous year and which had sales of at least $150,000 in that time. No more than 10 publishers currently qualify for assistance under that program. PURCHASES BOOKS Tn addition, says Fielding, the Ministry of Education has a program in which bulk of books are from publishers to go into school libraries and the Ministry of Industry and Small Business has a loan guarantee regional history and children’s books, recorded a 30 per cent increase in sales in 1982 over 1981. Michael Burch, owner and president of Whitecap Books of North Vancouver, boasts that his company has made tremendous leaps in the five years it’s been producing colorful coffee table books. “In the first year we did $75,000 in sales,” he said. “This year, we hope to do three-quarters of a million.” GAINS RECOGNITION Such sale-soaring, agree McIntyre, Siegler and Burch, has cast provincial publishing activity onto the national stage. They no longer run regional operations, but companies that demand to be reckoned with on a much larger scale. However, as Siegler points out, the industry here isn't without its problems, READY, SET, GO... . Kinnaird Junior Secondary School students head for finish line in sack race, one of the many activities at the school's track meet held Friday. —canew:Photo Canada’s leading publisher of poetry, drama and fiction, a house which has published such writers as George Ryga, Audrey Thomas and Michel Tremblay, has Program. Atolk says that while some assistance is offered to publishers in B.C., the province's publishing policy is not as polished as that in Ontario, the major English language publishing area in Canada. “Certainly it’s not as complete,” she says. “They don't have the range of programs available. The government has not yet committed itself to publishing to the degree that Ontario has.” Siegler speaks not just for himself when he says that in spite of the problems facing the industry on the West Coast, he’s not prepared to hop borders all the way to Ontario. One of the reasons he's staying and fighting to stay afloat is because British Columbia, in his mind, needs to be a publishing province. “The majority of poets writing in Canada today that one knows are at least from here originally,” he says, “Western Canada simply needs a publisher. This is where we started and this is where we're going to stay." HUI tctcescerarcct ecu
